Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 659 659





"Wow," Diamond was speechless when she heard all this from her boss. "She has grown a lot since the first time I met her."

"She used to be very timid. She didn't even dare to raise her head, let alone speak her mind out and planned something like this," Diamond recalled those times when Chloe was very quiet and always apologized for the most menial thing happening around her. It was tragic and probably one of the reasons why Diamond befriended her early on rather than treating her coldly and formally like her boss told her to do. 

She just knew that a woman like Chloe needed support until she could get back on her feet, and she knew that Chloe wasn't a malicious person. 

"That's the long term effect of abuse and humiliation," Vernon said. His heart was aching when he said that because he was also guilty of yelling at Chloe many times back then. 

He was full of anger and resentment towards Chloe, and he thought she hated him, so he had to return the same energy to her. 

He was miserable, they were miserable…

'I will devote my lifetime to make up for it,' Vernon promised himself before he returned to the topic. "Anyway, don't forget to contact all the Paparazzi you can get, and also official news reporters, get them to gather for that case, so it will make headlines everywhere, both in and out of social media. We need to make sure that Vincent will be forced to step down from his position as CEO because there is way too much bad press around him."

"Got it, Sir," Diamond nodded. "I will make sure we will attack Vincent and his company with endless bad rep to force him to step down. The Gray company's stock has been going down for at least 30%, right?"

"It will keep dropping, I want it to at least drop until it plummets to 80%," Vernon said. "You can go now, Diamond."

"Sir, before I go, I want to tell you that I've used the HR department to fire a new staff that we recruited about three months ago," Diamond reported.

Vernon frowned, "Why?"

"That new staff member turned out to be Maria's henchwoman. She's the one who has been inquiring about our projects and reporting it to Maria, that's why she keeps being suspicious with the amount of business partners that come to our door," Diamond said. "We got her fired already, but I'm not sure how many things she already knows because I spotted her when she's trying to search for information on my desk early this morning."

"Damn, that old bitch needs to die of heart attack, seriously," Vernon cursed. "She's been more of a problem than Vincent."

"Do you want me to do something, Sir?" Diamond offered.

"No, you can't do anything against her. Maria is a senior staff that has been working with my family for decades. She's much more experienced than you," Vernon said. "I don't want you to fall into their trap."

"Then what can we do about this, Sir?" Diamond asked. She got worried whenever she remembered about Secretary Maria. Just with one look, Diamond already knew that woman was very dangerous. "I bet that old woman is trying to salvage things right now."

"Definitely, but I will try to keep her in check," Vernon said. "Just do what I told you to do, Diamond. Oh and… I want you to keep track of the CPS visit. I want you to be there since I have a bad feeling about it, and I can't just surround the house with bodyguards because it might make the CPS staff suspicious."

"Got it, Sir. I will be there to protect Chloe and those boys," Diamond said. "Please excuse me then, I will contact those reporters and independent Paparazzi."

Diamond turned around and left the office, leaving Vernon alone. 

Vernon took his phone out and started dialing his henchmen about guarding Chloe in the hospital. He had to prepare everything before Chloe's hospital visit tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Maria was in a terrible mood right now. She failed to retrieve those boys, so it was impossible for her to manipulate them so they wouldn't say anything. 

"What should I do now?" Maria asked herself. "What if the CPS interviewed those boys and those little shits said something about Vincent? I can't let the Gray company fall, and Vincent is the life of that company. No matter how shitty he is, he has the blood of Mr. Vaughn Gray."

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom It was rare for Maria to be put in such a difficult position like this. Had she known that Vincent wanted to manipulate Chelsea to kill her family, she'd have prepared a better way or at least made sure those boys would be killed as well. 

"This is a mess because Vincent acted without asking me first, now it's hard to do damage control," Maria complained. "Do I have to use my instinct to find those boys instead?"

Honestly, Maria didn't believe that the boys were in foster care after her Informant told her that CPS would be searching for those boys in a week. 

If they were in foster care, it wouldn't take CPS one week to check on them, so those boys must stay with someone close to them, presumably a family member. 

And the only family member they had right now was Chloe, so her instinct told her that Chloe was the one who had been hiding the boys as well.

"Well, this is just a wild guess based on my instinct. It cannot be relied on," Maria said. "But this is the only thing I could do. So I need to find a way to track Chloe down."

Thus, Maria took out her phone and called another Informant she had.

"Keep an eye on Judith Carlson's corpse stored in the hospital near that police department. I have a feeling that Chloe will visit her dead mother sooner or later., Inform me if you see any sighting of her, or any report of her trying to hold a funeral or cremation for the corpse."

"…"

"Don't worry about money, bribe all hospital staff as long as they're on our side."
